TLDR
Evidence was obtained that the mechanism of inhibition is the irreversible binding of enzyme sulfhydryl groups by the cyclopropene group and it was shown that the inhibition was affected by sterculic acid in vitro with rat liver preparations.

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase: rogue or innocent bystander?

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to try to summarise the current understanding of this fascinating enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase.

Lipid metabolism in the mammary gland of ruminant animals

TL;DR: Ruminants will not normally ingest significant amounts of cholesterol as the plant material, which makes up the major part of their diet, contains little or none although it is possible that they may consume some cholesterol if animal by-products are fed as part of the concentrate fraction of the diet.

A requirement for lipids by the microsomal stearyl coenzyme A desaturase.

TL;DR: The similarities between the lipid requirements of the DPNH-cytochrome c reductase and the stearyl-CoA desaturase support the suggestion that the two systems share a common electron transfer pathway or carrier.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

The separation of complex lipide mixtures by the use of silicic acid chromatography.

TL;DR: Information obtained from this study and from previous investigations of the properties of silicic acid were used to elaborate a standardized method for the separation of lipide groups based on adsorption chromatography with silicIC acid.
